The term is a straightforward combination of the concepts 'monarchy' and 'fascism', so learners who know the two component words can infer the meaning.

Etymology

The word monarcho-fascism joins two parts: monarcho- meaning 'one ruler' or 'king', and fascism, a word from Italy that came to mean a style of very strict, often violent, central rule. So monarcho-fascism is a political idea that mixes rule by a king with the harsh, controlling methods of fascism.
